Yes there are.
Jesus prophesied about His own execution and subsequent resurrection.
Originally posted by whodeyLet's get onto these later. First, I should like to discuss the Israel 1948 prophecy. I assume you know it is based on Zekiel and Leviticus. At first, I was convinced. Then I noticed something which makes me very suspicious. In my opinion, the people who calculated this Prophecy as being spot-on have conveniently ignored certain other verses.

Here are some other prophesies concerning Daniel

If you ask me, Daniel was spot on!! In fact, if you read Revelation you will notice much of it is pulled from the pages of Daniel.

No there aren't.
What you're referring to is only hearsay, written down by people long after the life of Jesus, not even eyewitnesses.
This comes to the qeustion if everythign written in the bible is true. It's not.
Originally posted by Hand of HecateI agree with you. But, in order to be fair, have a look at the video first, invetsigate yourself and then make a claim it is fantasy! It si, at first, very convincing. But, there is a flaw (or two!).

Originally posted by znshoForgetting about the prophecy for a second, isn't it kind of ironic that Israel even exists today? What are the odds? It seems they have overcome extreme odds just to even have a country to call their own once again.

Originally posted by whodeyEverything that exists is highly improbable. That is a basic fact of statistics. If there are multiple possibilitites and only one occurs then that one outcome has a less than one chance of having happened. The more possibilities there are, the more improbable the one outcome is.

Originally posted by twhiteheadIsrael wouldn't exist without the 'prophecies'. The 'prophecies' gives them them the right to fulfil their prophecies, they think. With war, blood, and terror if neccesary. So these 'prophecies' are just self-fulfilled.
But Israel does not exist by pure chance. There are many reasons for its existence, most of them rather unsavoury.
